Doesn't it though? According to STS, their kit for the V6 mustang, at 5 psi, produces 250 hp and 256 tq at the wheels, compared to 166 and 177 stock. Thats 50 percent improvement, and with a single turbo setup! And at 9 psi, it produces 313 hp and 326 tq at the wheels, or an 88 percent improvement. And seeing how I'm only looking for a 50 percent improvement (Intake and Exhaust put the v6 at 300 rwhp in the caddy, and I'm shooting for about 450 rwhp, which should be enough to reach my goal of a 13.00 second 1/4), this looks very promising indeed.

AND.. . You would be able to maintain your gas mileage.. Just by staying out of the boost!!

It also shows the burning oil problem that is the one thing that concerns me about this engine. I was reading some caddy forums, and it seems to happen more often than not.

Well Just because that 3.6 burns a little oil.. doesnt mean they all do..

They had an Oil Consumtion problems with the LS2 also.. Mainly on the cars with manual transmissions.. Could be improper breakin procedure didnt seat the rings.. Or a problem with the aluminum on that paticular engine where the oil just.. beleive it or not... Seeped through.

Besides 6500 miles on the same oil..

I run synthetic and every 3 to 4 k miles I change the OIL.. Not because the oil is worn out. but how long can you really trust the Oil FILTER.?

I dunno... compared to a total oil capacity of 7.6 qts, it doesn't seem all THAT bad to me... I mean, obviously I'd rather it didn't do it, but I think its just something we'll have to live with. Of course, they could have corrected it by the time we buy our cars.

I think an RS V6 with a manual and limited slip should be very nice and quick. Like 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and the 1/4 in low 14's. Thats what my brother wants. He says the DI 3.6 in a great engine. I personally will get the LS3 manual SS. Burning oil during the first 10,000 miles shouldn't be a big deal. Heck, go read about BMW's. They burn alot of oil.
